NEW: A second ex-wife of David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed Joan Durán Guerrero in Maine, Lucinda Brouillette, issued a statement this morning. In it she says "If you were to ask me whether I believe David Brouillette is capable of this level of extreme violence, my answer is unequivocally yes."
"Throughout the years, I brought my concerns to law enforcement, the courts, and the Department of Health and Human Services. I tried to explain what I believed was a long-standing pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, and controlling behavior because I genuinely feared where those behaviors could lead. From my perspective, those warnings did not receive the attention I believed they deserved."
NPR reported on a court filing from Lucinda where she accused him of being physically aggressive with their then 13-year-old daughter.
Below is her statement in full:
I appreciate the nuance in your opinion, but there is a difference between popularity, appeal and being the face of the league.
Caitlin Clark is the most popular player in the WNBA, and the biggest draw. She’s not the face because she’s not creating a new standard for winning (yet). She does not have accomplishments that people want to take (yet).
What team is everyone trying to beat? The Aces. What player is everyone trying to match? A’ja Wilson.
The standard for winning is A’ja. Michael Jordan became the face of the NBA because he became the standard by which every player is measured. Everyone wanted to stop him. Caitlin isn’t there.
Crockett: I have never been a Netanyahu fan. Netanyahu is like a more intelligent version of Trump. Unfortunately, he ended up with the right fool in the white house to follow him down this trail. And that is why we are in an unlawful, illegal war.
🚨NEW: Jimmy McCain, son of John McCain, is supporting Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in her re-election campaign and will campaign for her this fall.
RETWEET to thank McCain for putting country over party!
Trump is out here talking about “the deep state” as if he doesn’t control the house, senate, White House, AND THE SUPREME COURT 🤣! Bro YOU are the deep state. DELUSIONAL!
In 1960:
— Black poverty rate was 55 percent (overall poverty rate was 22 percent).
— Black unemployment rate was 12.4 percent (twice as high as white people)
— Only about 4 percent of Black people had a college degree.
I don’t have to explain the indignities and the violence that Black Americans suffered under Jim Crow.
He is saying that affirmative action was worse than that.
Clown is too good of a word for him.
Jen Psaki: Why is he obsessed with Georgia?
Jon Ossoff: Because he can't get over the fact that it was black voters and black political power who were instrumental to his defeat in Georgia.
Good Job Ossoff.
It’s humiliating and these guys will happily humiliate themselves to avoid making the toddler, Fat Donald, throw a tantrum.
History will be brutal to them
